EVP, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary, Chief People Officer
Hanmi Bank

Executive vice president, general counsel, corporate secretary and chief people officer at Hanmi Bank, Vivian Kim shapes long-term organizational resilience and corporate growth strategies. Leveraging this record of success, she spearheaded the legal establishment of the bank’s first international representative office in Seoul to strengthen cross-border market integration. This expertise extends to advanced corporate governance sectors where she orchestrated investor stewardship overhauls that secured a prime Governance Quality Score of 1 from ISS. This leadership trajectory supports Kim’s extensive civic and professional footprint, which includes an active board seat for the Koreatown Youth and Community Center and driving youth financial literacy initiatives. She sustains this momentum by organizing multilingual disaster-relief seminars with the Small Business Administration to provide direct application assistance across Southern California communities. Her comprehensive executive administration over 10 years with the organization reinforces the operational infrastructure of the $7.7-billion asset financial institution.
